odds and ends
I'm dazzling like the neon street signs hiccuping off and on
again all night long
I've got magazine friends and enough jealousy to lose them
But I know this has all been said before
I shed what escape my fiction provided
I lived a lifetime inside of my shelter and thought it about time
to see outside it
And I believed it was easy, stupidly thought I could just get up
and walk away
I've got illness hugging me like skin and I'll shed it clean until I
can taste the oxygen.
